Reboot has not fixed mine.

Have you tried clearing the cache from the phone application? I don't think clearing the data will make you lose any important information since contacts used an app called "contact storage. " if you choose to clear data, you may miss out on your settings. Also try downloading a different launcher and then going back to TW

Synergy problem with icons

I just installed Synergy yesterday and whenever I restart my phone a few icons on my Desktop turn into the default android icons. The apps still work, and I'm able to throw those in the trash and put them up new where they appear normally. Upon restarting, they'll go back to the default android icons. And it's always the same apps. Anyone else have this happen?

I've never had this problem. Did you do a FULL wipe in Amon Ra before flashing?

Indeed I did. I also flashed Rosie Carousel + widgets during the initial recovery session.
Also, I have a question. I saw that Synergy has A2SD, but where or how exactly do I use it? Thanks.

Google account on phone is GONE!

I just opened my phone & tried to open my gmail & it just closed, no FC or anything just a black screen that opened & closed real fast. I then tried to open the market & it says you must add a new account so i hit yes & that just closes to, so i went to settings accounts & sync & my gmail is not in there so i hit add account & there is no gmail in there. Anyone know how i can get my Google account working again? I also tried loading the market webpage on my laptop & it won't even open. Wonder if Google is having problems.
I had this problem before but can't remember for the life of me how i fixed it. I am rooted & running Shooter Rom. I don't want to restore my phone, that's my last option.

(If you are still experiencing this problem)
Restart your phone once (works most of the time)...if that doesn't do it, clear cache and dalvik and reflash the rom (without full wipe)...
Alternatively, you could also try fixing permissions from the recovery.

The restart didn't work. If i do the wipes & reflash without full wipe will i still have all my apps & everything i downloaded?

Yes. You will have all your existing apps and data. Reflashing should replace missing files and redo the permissions.

[Q] Problem with my Kindle - No status bar or system bar

Hi. I decided to root/ install a custom ROM on my Kindle 2 for the first time yesterday and everything went great. The root went well and the ROM (Powerpoint's ROM) was working great. I was messing with some of the settings last night and I messed something up with the Treybuchet launcher (it had to do with the grid size on homescreen) to where it kept closing everytime I tried to open it so I downloaded a few other launchers and it fixed the issue. Well, I liked the Treybuchet launcher so I decided I wanted to just reflash the ROM so it would be fixed.
So I went to the recovery menu and selected Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, Factory Reset, and then System and then installed the ROM file and GAPPS. Then I went back into the Wipe menu and decided to wipe Internal Storage because all my old files from my Kindle Fire were still there and I wanted them wiped.
So then I clicked restart and everything was going well when I got into the Google setup menu. Everything looked good and I entered in all my info. Then I got to the homescreen and the first thing I noticed was that the homescreen was black. There was no wallpaper set and it was just black. I could still see the default apps and the dock. So I clicked down and went into the wallpaper menu and tried to select one but it didn't change it.
And then after a minute, I noticed that there was no status bar or the bottom bar with the home button, back button, and app switcher. So whenever I clicked into an app, I was stuck in it until I rebooted the device. So I can't really do anything on my device right now because I have no back button or status bar or anything.
I've since reflashed a bunch of times and redownloaded the files and tried it, but nothing is working. I'm still missing the status/bottom bar and I'm thinking it may have had to do with my initial problem with Treybuchet.
I've also tried going into the Play Store to try to download a launcher, but for some reason my Play Store isn't downloading any apps either so I can't do that either. And plus I wouldn't know how I would be able to switch to the launcher without a home button anyways.
Can anyone help me please with this?
Sorry for making my OP so long.
Basically what I'm saying is that when I reinstalled one of the ROMs, my status bar and system bar are not there anymore and I'm not sure what to do now. Has this happened to anyone else?

what you guys need to do is use twrp to get to fastboot, then flash stock, and finally reflash everything. look here...
I was able to get it working by pushing the ROM and gapps through adb.
Once I got the zips in sdcard, installed it normally from trwp.

Thank you so much. I did fastboot mode and restored my device and now I have the stock interface back, so that's a good thing. I'll probably try to reflash CM10.1 a little later, but it's good having a usable device again for the time being
Same problem here
Hi,
I have the same problem here with my kindle fire 2
I tried to root with Root many android utility and several times it didn`t work. At some point in one of the restarts, the kindle started updating and then it booted to a black screen where there's not a menu or status bar and nothing can be done. Any time I try to do something, it shows the screen to connect to amazon account but as I haven't and can't configure wifi connection, I can't do anything.
So basically, the kindle starts but nothing can be done and the menu and status bar are not present
I've tried to re run the utility but when there's time to appear the restore screen on my kindl, nothing happens and the utility gets waiting forever as it states.
Anyone knows and can help me to fix the kindle???
Thanks!!!

Phone Freezes When Mass Texting. Please Help If Possible

When I try to mass text more than two contacts my phone freezes, I would select contacts that I want to message and then try to type my message the screen goes black, but the notification bar remains. Can't do anything so I have to just hold down the power button to restart phone. Tried typing message first and then select my contacts, but I still get the same problem. This doesn't happen when texting one or two people. Did a factory reset but the problem still persist. What could possibly be the problem and is there a fix? Any help would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm rooted and using stock Touchwiz with CWM recovery.
Clear cache for the messages app and try again. Is this a recurring problem or has it come up only recently?

I have never been able to mass text, so it's a recurring problem. How would I go about to clearing my cache for my message app, I'm using the stock app. Sorry, I don't know much about this, I'm new to rooting and smartphones in general.

Huh. You couldnt do this even on stock (unrooted)? Because if the unrooted stock base has this issue, then all custom stock roms will too...you can try making a nandroid and flashing another custom stock rom, it may just be an issue with what you're on
And no problem, everyone was new to this at one point
To clear an apps cache, you go to Settings > Applications > All apps tab, select the app you want, then wait for the app info page to load and tap the "Clear cache" button

Thanks, went to clear my cache, there wasn't anything to clear. I think I couldn't do this even on unrooted stock, I don't really remember. I've already made a backup before doing the factory reset, which I've now restored and currently using. I'll probably try to flash another rom to see if the problem exist on them as well.

Calculator doesn't work on 6.0.1?

It's the original calculator and it crashed immediately when I open it
Is there anyone else who meet the problem. How to solve it?

I also got this issue, anyone has a clue? at my nexus 6 btw
I got the 6.0.1 OTA just now and I'll check once it's installed. Maybe try wiping data and/or cache for it?
UPDATE: Just checked and not an issue for me. Running stock and not rooted... yet.

Just an idea but go to your Developer options then scroll to the very bottom and select Inactive apps. Touch to toggle it for calculator and try again.

Thankyou for the brain storming you guys, still it didnt had any effect.
6p, and I have the same issue.. Strange.
Did you guys flash the update using factory image files or did you flash the actual OTA file? Because I find that flashing files from the factory images to update can cause issues sometimes. The OTA files sometimes have upgrade scripts that may change some things that need to be changed on the /data partition and you wouldn't get those changes if you just flashed the new /system partition.
Last night I was having this issue (as mentioned above). Today, the calculator app opens up just fine. Even more strange...
